Sure I did. Not only that, I disproved yours too (which you now drop like a hot potatoe)! LOL. Here's another. "The genes that you inherit from your parents are not the most important factors in determining whether you fall prey to any of the ten leading causes of death." Well, here are the top 10 causes of death, according to the CDC: 1. Heart disease: 696,947 2. Cancer: 557,271 3. Stroke: 162,672 4. Chronic lower respiratory diseases: 124,816 5. Accidents (unintentional injuries): 106,742 6. Diabetes: 73,249 7. Influenza: 65,681 8. Alzheimer's disease: 58,866 9. Nephritis, nephrotic syndrome, and nephrosis: 40,974 10. Septicemia: 33,865 It's hard to choose where to begin, but let's start with number 8. What factor is more important than genes in falling prey to Alzheimers? Anybody...?
